29 Country of Philistia, don’t be happy
    that the king who struck you is now dead.
He is like a snake that will give birth to another dangerous snake.
    The new king will be like a quick, dangerous snake to bite you.
30 Even the poorest of my people will be able to eat safely,
    and people in need will be able to lie down in safety.
But I will kill your family with hunger,
    and all your people who are left will die.

31 People near the city gates, cry out!
    Philistines, be frightened,
because a cloud of dust comes from the north.
    It is an army, full of men ready to fight.
